you cant know about rape and such sure, but he knows he is volatile based off their first interaction. second he is a modern person who was schooled in a modern system so im sure like all of us he could’ve made some educated inferences on the lives of women during these times. he couldve said he didnt see anything because he (insert clever lie here) but this character isnt clever, or wise, or anything in particular. which is why i dropped this bl. i dont like stories with characters that feel bland. ofc thats a personal standard thing he might be a rich character to some.

i finally caught up and this show and SHOULD it be so obvious? i feel it shouldnt but im unsure since ive not seen many detective type cdrama. im mostly watching as a bai lu stan. but its too obvious so far

i personally like it, but with reservations. why? so far every “twist” was very obvious, every mastermind telegraphed from almost the start of the mystery. i think it wasn’t supposed to seem so obvious in a show of this genre, but if someone can perhaps convince me it was supposed to be so obvious and that it will all build up to something then i feel very open to that too!

so far im slightly disappointed but only cos i had such massive expectations.

i can tell its well made, acted, produced etc. im just failing to connect deeply with it. none of the emotional tragic beats elicited more than a “aw poor thing” type of reaction. and im usually a very easily immersed, fast to cry viewer.

so idk, maybe i need to let it cook

same, utterly

YESSSSS!!!

makes sense, i kinda guessed but wasnt sure

thanks!

man this was good, if only there was more. specifically of the second couple

this really fizzled out at the end

whats with Taiwanese bl poster design giving the OPPOSITE VIBE to the actual series?!

is this in chinese?

THIS IS SO MUCH FUN

moved it from on hold to dropped because honestly this feels yucky to me after 2 eps.

i think you’re right, that is often missing 🥲

the leads remind me of history trapped

Yao Shun Yu has some amazing teeth. they dont look like veneers and even if they are thats some amazing work

im puting it on hold cos i kinda lost interest after 2 episodes

why would they set such a monumental uphill battle for themselves with this premise?

well said! i think they are going to evolve further in a direction that doesnt connect with me. why? because what they are doing now is successful and so they have no incentive to teach they actors to approach acting with any depth, if we are lucky we get actors who naturally “get it” like in this series but mostly we get a shallow, obvious approach.
